Sooooooooo, impending ban on Skullclamp in Standard anyone?

[The Atog Lord]

This is really, really weird.

Nationals is June 18-20. And as best I can determine, these changes would allow Wizards to ban the Clamp no sooner than Day Three of Nationals. So, unless I'm missing something, Wizards would ban the Clamp for only the final day of the event. I've never seen a banning occur midway through a tourney.

Fortunately, it doesn't work like that.  The rules that an event uses are based on the day that the event starts if its a multi-day event.

While a restriction won't be in time for Nationals, the fact that they're changing the policy now just seems like a bit of the old foreshadowing.

We bid you adieu Skullclamp.  I FUCKIN' hate that card in Standard.  It ruined a whole format.  Imagine that, block cards ruining a whole format...hmmm....when has that ever happened?  This is foreshadowing.

I'm seriously hoping the Treatise on Block Constructed goes up tonight. I can hardly wait. :)
